Contribution: This study systematically developed an educational learning framework titled "Real-world problem-posing strategy with engineering problem-solving" to facilitate engineering college students' learning. This study evaluated the effect of the developed learning framework on engineering college students' engineering…

Contribution: In this article, integrated problem-based learning and critical reflection are shown to contribute to significant learning experiences, without needing to increase course hours and course assignments. Background: With the advances in technology, such as artificial intelligence, there is a shift in teaching and learning paradigms,…

This article aims to present a new educational model that integrates engineering learning with design thinking via a cloud ecosystem to enhance digital intelligence for undergraduate students. This approach utilizes user-centered problem-solving to foster innovation and collaborative learning. The educational environment can adapt to 21st-century…

Project-based learning (PJBL) is student-centered and teamwork educational activity that prepares students for the challenge of real-world problems. This kind of instructional method is highly recommended by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).This paper describes an authentic project that focuses on the preparation of…

There is an increased interest in integrating engineering design into K-12 classrooms because it equips students to solve real-world problems. However, before students are introduced to real-world problems, K-12 teachers may need to develop inquiry pedagogies and establish a learning context that supports student problem-solving. This study…

With the advance of engineering education research and scholarship, there has been an increased focus on amending chemical engineering courses to increase student learning, engagement and enjoyment. These approaches are often incorporated in project-based courses such as capstone design courses and laboratory courses, providing opportunities to…

Contribution: A novel project-based learning (PBL) approach applicable to diverse design-oriented engineering courses. This article reports the application results during six academic years (2012/13 to 2017/18) for electronic instrumentation (EI) course for third-year Industrial Electronic and Automation Engineering majors. Background: Engineering…

Successful engineering graduates need to understand engineering principles and practices and be able to work in teams, to communicate well, and to work in contexts that can be risky and uncertain. Current trends in engineering education call for the development of students' technical and non-technical skills. Thus, it is crucial that tertiary…

Background Engineering: Faculty members should adopt effective pedagogical approaches in order to maximize student learning. The beliefs of faculty members about instructional practice are an important construct in determining what and how they teach. Purpose: This study investigates the effect of faculty members' involvement in model-eliciting…

The majority of the students who enroll at the Walter Sisulu University (WSU) in South Africa are not equipped with the necessary academic/learning skills to cope with the university environment, especially in Mechanical Engineering. The Department of Higher Education and Training (2013, p. 17), further states that "students' support is…

Team-based learning (TBL) is a form of student-centered active learning in which students independently study new conceptual material before it is treated in the classroom, and then subsequently spend considerable classroom time working in groups on increasingly challenging problems and applications based on that new material. TBL provides…
